After lunch, Yu Yan and the others took Ya 'er out to play. Mu Qingxiao was left alone in the villa.
Of course, at this time, Mu Qingxiao was completely different from the usual. His handsome appearance had disappeared and was replaced by an ordinary appearance that could not be found in a crowd. This was naturally Ah-Zhu's masterpiece.
He had a dark, square face and a full beard. He looked like a farmer in his thirties. It was the disguise Aju gave him before he left.
Mu Qingxiao looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and nodded in satisfaction. He put on the golden sunglasses he bought and a few gold rings to disguise himself. At first glance, he looked like a country bumpkin.
Mu Qingxiao's motive for doing this was naturally to auction off some diamonds at the auction house to make plans for his future career.
Although he was not afraid of trouble, it was better to keep a low profile. If he took out such a high-quality diamond, it would not only attract attention but also make people jealous.
After adjusting his sunglasses, Mu Qingxiao packed up and left the villa area with his bag. He took a taxi to his destination.
"Fenghao Charity Auction House!"
Mu Qingxiao stood in front of the branch of the largest auction house in Huaxia. The auction house was in the luxurious building in front of him. Tomorrow was the day of the auction. The staff of the auction house were already busy, decorating the place with lanterns and decorations and rolling out the red carpet.
"It seems like the merchants have prepared well for this auction."
Mu Qingxiao looked at the busy staff and stopped thinking. Instead, he walked straight through the door.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
As soon as Mu Qingxiao stepped through the door, a middle-aged man in a suit came out of the auction house and smiled. "Sir, the auction will only start tomorrow …"
The meaning of his words was obvious. He was telling Mu Qingxiao to come back tomorrow.
"I'm here for something."
Mu Qingxiao said in a hoarse voice, "Of course I know the auction will start tomorrow. That's why I'm here. Tell your manager to come out. I want to sell a high-quality diamond. Hurry up, my time is precious."
"Top-grade diamond?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly.
There were many people who put up items for auction in their auction house. There were all kinds of antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, but this was the first time they put up a diamond, because diamonds were not rare to the upper class. They could be bought in jewelry stores.
Judging from his dark skin and his attire, he was definitely a nouveau riche. He might even be the boss of a diamond mine …
"Excuse me, sir, can I have a look at the diamond you want to auction?" The middle-aged man was not stupid. He immediately changed the way he addressed Zhang Zian and used the honorific "you".
Mu Qingxiao snorted coldly and stopped talking nonsense. She tore open the package in her hand, revealing a slit.
The middle-aged man only glanced at it for a moment before Mu Qingxiao put it away. Even so, the middle-aged man was still shocked.
"Please come with me. I will immediately invite an experienced appraiser over."
Although he only glanced at it, the middle-aged man immediately made a judgment. If the diamond was real, he could get a lot of benefits. If it was fake, it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, the auction house cared about the value.
As the manager of the auction house, he was experienced and knowledgeable. However, it was his first time seeing a diamond bigger than a ping pong ball.
For the rich, the price of an ordinary diamond was definitely not high. However, many things would change when they reached a certain size. The diamond just now, whether it was the size or the dazzling color, was definitely something he had seen in his life.
In a luxurious office in the building, Mu Qingxiao sat on the soft sofa and tasted the West Lake Longjing Tea. She was calm and composed.
At this time, the middle-aged man had returned. He hurriedly said, "Sir, this is Mr. Zhen from our auction house. Mr. Zhen is the number one appraiser of Fenghao Auction House. If your diamond is genuine, it will not be wasted."
Behind the middle-aged man, there was a hale and hearty white-haired old man.
"May I know your name, sir?" The white-haired Mr. Zhen asked with a gentle smile.
Mu Qingxiao smiled faintly. "Mr. Zhen, you should know the situation. Do you think that this kind of diamond should not appear in Jinghai City?"
"Our auction house will not ask about the origin of the items. As long as the valuable items are brought here, we will be able to get a good price for the seller. I have worked here for nearly ten years. If the diamonds you bring are genuine, it will definitely be a great blessing for our business."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao smiled. He had already prepared for this. He knew that if he took out this kind of diamond, it would definitely attract attention. After hearing Mr. Zhen's words, he was even more certain.
Before coming to the auction house, he had also looked up some information about diamonds and had some understanding of them.
At present, the largest raw diamond in the world was the "Star of Africa", which was found in the Culinan diamond mine in South Africa two years ago. It weighed 122 carats and was estimated by experts to be about 6.3 billion yuan. At this moment, it was inlaid on the scepter of the British royal family, symbolizing supreme power.
The diamond he brought was 140 carats. It was colorless and transparent, without any flaws. The quality was excellent. It was definitely better than the so-called "Star of Africa". It was probably the most perfect raw diamond at present.
This kind of thing would definitely make people jealous. Mu Qingxiao sighed in his heart that he had foresight.
"The diamond I brought is definitely genuine. If it weren't for some problems in my diamond mine, I wouldn't have taken it out for auction."
Mu Qingxiao spoke again. "Moreover, if the price is right this time, there will be many more opportunities for cooperation like this in the future."
Mr. Zhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard his words. He raised his eyes and carefully sized up Mu Qingxiao. Looking at his dark cheeks and the several gold rings on his fingers, he solemnly asked, "This old man is Zhen Jingyu. May I ask how I should address you?"
Mu Qingxiao smiled and said, "My name is Alexander Stolavus."
"So it's Mr. Alexander. How courteous." Zhen Jingyu nodded with a smile and cupped his hands. He had already believed most of Mu Qingxiao's origin.
Mu Qingxiao nodded. This name was the name of the retarded bounty hunter in the One Piece world. It was just right to use it.
"But can you let me see the diamond brought by Mr. Alexander?" Zhen Jingyu sat upright. Although his words were very polite, the excitement in his voice could not be concealed.
Mu Qingxiao did not care. He took out the cloth package in his hand and put it on the table casually.
Zhen Jingyu looked a little surprised. If it was really a unique diamond, why would it be wrapped in cloth? Suddenly, he had some doubts in his heart.
